    Typically, there seems to have been minimal mention of this story in the US media.
    If you visit today's Astronomy Picture of the Day, you'll see that "The now-outbound comet remains bright but will surely fade as it moves away from the Sun. Nevertheless, Comet NEAT will likely be visible with binoculars to southern hemisphere observers for the next month." Maybe some of our down under SciForums members can let us know if they've spotted it.

    Current SOHO images.

    :m: Peace.
